Rather than revolving around the less specific notion of 'sound design', future crucial reflection on animation and game sounds can only benefit by feeding in the kind of specialist practical knowledge Ament provides about the aural footprint left by a very particular aspect of the sound production process.""--Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal" <p> Wow! a fascinating read for anybody interested in Foley Vanessa reveals the mysteries of Foley as one of the few masters of the craft.
